Frequently Asked Questions

Do students compete individually or in teams?

Students can choose to either participate individually or on a team. Depending on the competition, team sizes can be a maximum of 3 or 4 students. If you have a situation where you have an odd number of students, where a student is left to work by his/herself who does not want to, please contact us, and we will figure something out!

Can students participate in more than one competition?
